Hello from Harvest Lane Cottage!
Once upon a time, long long ago, we had a small farm. One year we grew pumpkins and gourds and had a pumpkin patch. My husband loved it. I loved going through the patch looking for baby pumpkins and watching them grow. Back then, I was Laura of Harvest Lane Farm. After we moved to town, we called our little Craftsman Bungalow Harvest Lane Cottage. We moved back to Missouri from Kansas and moved a couple more times since then. We bought our current house in our hometown, so we are settled. I kept the name Harvest Lane Cottage, because it has been my blog's name for a lot of years... since 2007! Even though our current house is a ranch style built in 1968, I'm doing my best to cozy it up like a little cottage a bit at a time. I love cottage style, and we bloom where we're planted!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and do something to make your home a bit more like you'd like it to be whether it's a ranch, a farm, or an apartment. Make what you do inside your home a reflection of what you like. That's a lesson that took me years to learn. Do with whatcha got!
Be blessed and look for the happy!
Laura

I love the name of your blog. We actually live in a 1930 cottage that I call Bygone Cottage :-) It's old, but comfy to us. Good to hear from you. Glad you're well.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Bygone Cottage!
DeleteHi Laura. I've been blogging since about 2007 as well and our current house was built the same year as yours! Good post. I hope you have a good weekend and I will see you again soon!
ReplyDeleteGood plan Deb.
DeleteLaura-
ReplyDeleteLove reading about your journey. Last September my hubby and I sold our mcmansion and moved to rural west central NV to teach. We are living on the cheap in district provided housing, which is a fraction of the size of our previous house. Over the last few months I’ve been able to make it home by bringing in house plants to the decor. Seeing all the greenery makes me smile.
All the best from Goldfield NV- Tina
Tina I'd love to know more about what you've done to make your house a home. It's quite a change. My daughter bought a couple of plants, and they are really helping our house feel homey.

Hello, lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post.
I have lived in many different houses and finally feel at home.
Have a cozy weekend!
Your home is absolutely stunning! You make it cozy and comfortable.
DeleteHi Laura :)
ReplyDelete1st off - lovely post !! The pumpkin patch sounds great..I've only ever managed to grow about six !!..I think that was my biggest yield & I was still happy. I agree with what you said at the end to fill your home with what you like. It's taken me many years to develop my own style, but I found clues when Pintrest came along. I always ended up pinning similar fabrics, decor etc. I would call my style old fashioned, country, vintage-ish :) I especially love old and new (old style) blue china. I love florals, plaid and stipes. I very much enjoy making our home cozy and welcoming. Lovely to stop by as always..and secondly before I go: look out for a letter in the post..it will probably take a month :) x
